I needed to replace the bearings in an intermediate shaft recently and it wasn't really a hard job but I did dent the outside of the large seal. I inquired about a replacement seal from the company that I got the rebuild kit from, a Febest AS-306216-Kit, and was told they were not available...
I do this to all of my DSM throttle bodies so I can get to the dam bolts and loosen them for proper adjustment without CUSSING because "how do you get to that back one easily?" :idontknow:I hope this helps out all my DSM family and anyone else that has a hard to reach TPS.Make sure you cut...
While cleaning and rearranging the shop yesterday, I came across lots of things from bulk partouts I've bought. I have never seen this cover that has a inspection hole in it. Does anyone know what it would have came on?
Thanks, just curious. It fits on my 6 bolt block but I'll be using the...
Well, my son was outside working on his 1987 Honda Accord Hatchback (yes, another car we added to the herd), when he heard the air compressor inside the shop just running away, like it was under no load so he turned it off (we never turn it off). We tackled the shroud and got it off to discover...
These are the numbers that a parts store would look for if you are wanting NGK plugs for your DSM.

I had a member that follows my Instagram account use a tool like this so I asked if he would mind telling me what components to use and he replied. Thanks T-man! All of this stuff cost under $120 and all came from Amazon. It works WAY better than I expected so I thought I should share a short...
My son was in Tulsa today at IFO and did very respectable for the family. He lost in the Semi-finals when the car didn't go into launch mode by .03.
Still a good showing and he drove to the event and home in his Audi RS3.
GOOD JOB SON!!!! :thumb:

Here are 2 Engine Build Cost Analysis Spreadsheets to use in estimating your costs to Build or Re-Build your motor.
All of the cells are changeable for your needs. If something isn't listed, add it to the next line after the last part already on the list.
DO NOT ALTER THE AMOUNT CELLS or it will...
This is how I install my balance shaft elemenator plug when you delete your balance shafts in your 4G63 turbo motor.
This is usually for modified engines.
If you have a stock motor, consider KEEPING your balance shafts.
If you have an assistant, have them hold the oil pump body still for you...
A story to make you SMILE! :)
In these “Modern” times, things just don’t happen like they used to, but this week, you would have thought that we were back in the 70’s or so.Here is my story for all to read/hear.
I ordered up a fresh crank for my 6 bolt last Friday for a fresh 6 bolt build, but...
Just a video posted by Kyle that includes a 1ga DSM doing the thing we all like to see!

The DSM is in the 1st part so you dont have to wait to see if they do any "dig" racing, it got busted up at the end.
I hope you all can smile and enjoy!

So I passed by this "gocart" (if you want to call it that but to me it is a buggy) 3 days ago with a for sale sign 2x4 on it and thought "that's a cool cart". Then it was still there 2 days ago and I stopped to look and take pictures since I'm not up on the small engine stuff like my son is.

I have seen a lot of messed up heater core nipples from people trying to pry or twist off their old heater core hoses and if you just do this one little thing, damaging a heater core hose nipple will never occur.Take a razor blade and simply slit the heater hose at the firewall straight down...
How many of you have tried to split a rubber hose (for whatever reason), and have the dam thing roll around while you are wielding a razor knife to accomplish the job?
This is a simple, easy and SAFE way to split any rubber tube. Don't use a razor knife, just use the razor. Put it into a VISE...
I just saw it today and wanted to share since it has DSM and EVO stuff in it.

This weekend, Shift3ector and Kansas Corn team up to bring 1/2 mile racing to Kansas at the Independence Airport. Most of you are to far away to attend but at least I am going to let everyone know about it. I have to work Saturday but may go out and watch the cars if the weather is nice!

Very simple but some find it confusing so HERE is a short video clip of how to add your Ecmlink logs to any thread.
This should make it easy and simple.

I don't know if anyone has tried these, but we had one that came in my sons Sniper EFI Kit from Holley and I thought I should at least mention them on here in case they were needed in a pinch. Holley makes clamp on bungs for 2.25, 2.5 and 3" pipes. The kit is a plate with a O2 bung on it with a...

For those that are not familiar with the general upkeep and service of automatic transmission's, John, at IPT Transmission, has THESE TIPS for you:Thanks John.
I just ran across a TCU repair service specifically for the 1g cars so I thought I should make it known. It is a small family company called Foreign Auto Computer Repair. They have a very small pictorial of some bad signs to look for in your TCU so you can try to tell if it is repairable or not...

So I am so tired of fighting with my car that I am going to post a log and see if someone can point to potential problems.Anyone that has followed my threads knows that I am having issues with my 1gb auto car. I changed the transmission in her and she started giving me issues. She just runs...
1g AWD Fuel Pump Hanger AN Bulkhead Fitting ModAs I was eliminating fueling issues (still to be resolved) on my 1gb DSM, I decided to go ahead and run AN line and a AN bulkhead fitting to make sure I was getting plenty of fuel to the rail and injectors so I got out my spare hanger and went to...
I have, and so have other members, been looking for Data Sheets for various injectors so we all have a good base to start with so I am going to post up the few Data Sheets I have and if anybody else has some to post up, it sure would be a nice addition for us all.

This is a diagram for a workaround for cars with Big Pumps and Small Lines (stock) issues. It IS an issue and I didn't realize it until my tuner brought it up in my tune. We have worked around it but I am going to try this and just see what happens.

I have done this to 2 of the 3 DSMs I have since I couldn't find the 1g calipers.
It is a very straight forward swap and only requires you to "slit" the brake line holder hole on the strut.
